As we all know piracy is absolutley crippling the music industry and the movie industry is also damaged by piracy. In the gaming industry the affect of piracy varies with the PC,PSP experiencing larger percentages of piracy among the userbase with the XBOX 360 and PS3 experiencing piracy to very small extent ( well not at all on the PS3).
What i'm trying to get at is , is the increase in piracy the fault of the entertainment industries ? People will spend their money on something , if it's not games then it'll be clothes , MP3 players , the bowling etc , the money will go on one luxury or another . We're seeing an increase in F2P games , ad supported gaming and subscription based gaming , surely this is a payment system that the big businesses should be adopting ? .
what are your thoughts ?
